When a team in the double bonus gets fouled in the last minute of the 2nd half or overtime, they should get 3 shots instead of 2 (for shooting fouls too). A foul is supposed to penalize a team and should not be used to a team's advantage. This will make it harder - but not impossible - for teams to come back by intentionally fouling their opponent and also eliminates the intentional foul late in the game committed by a team up by three - essentially guaranteeing a win for a team just because they intentionally broke the rules.
(note that this would not have had an effect on the KU-OSU game because Kansas had only committed enough fouls to put Ohio State in the single bonus, but that is kind of what reminded me of this)
Also, eliminate one media timeout per half (have them at the first stop under 15:00, 10:00, and 5:00) even if they added an extra commercial to each break
Eliminate the 5-second "closely guarded" violation or limit it to held ball situations only. Its always baffled me that a team "can be rewarded with possession for "actively playing defense" even when in many cases they never even touch the ball
